JACOB WASSERBERGER, OF NEW YORK, N.' Y.

POLE AND MAST SUPPORT.

Application filed July 24, 1925.

This invention relates to pole and mast supports and its object is to provide a bracketthat may be clamped to a wall and carrying projecting clasps that may secure the lower end of the pole or mast to support the same above and beyond said wall. lVhen so located the pole may be used not only for flags and ornaments but may carry aerial wires for electrical appliances. The bracket may be provided with jaws that indent themselves in the plaster between the layers of brick or may have a frictional surface that will engage an interior wall without marring it.

These and other objects and details of the invention are more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a sectional View through the party wall of two buildings showing the support and the lower end of a pole.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view of the support.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view through line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line `4 4 of the same view. j

Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5 5.

Fig. 6 shows the application of the support to a window and at its sill.

The support is intended to provide means for temporarily erecting a pole or mast on buildings and which may be hastily installed or removed and may be firmly secured to the wall of a structure and carry a pole of considerable height or weight.

Then attached to a party wall and above the roof of a building as shown in Fig. 1 it obviates fire risks, as it is made of metal, and presents a neat and sightly appearance and when secured in a window, as in Fig. 6, it affords ready and instant access when signals are to be flown or electric connections made.

In both of these instances the device affords an excellent means for locating the aerial adjuncts of a radio receiving device or similar electrical appliance.

The support comprises two uprights 10 of identical shape and nature having cast integral with them the cross bars or jaws 11 adapted to bite into the mortar of the wall Serial No. 45,773.

12 below the cap 13. The upper ends 14 of the uprights are offset to avoid the cap and through eyes pass the bolts 15 and 16, the former being threaded and carrying the nut 17 while the bolt 16 is swivelled by means of a pin 18 and on its threaded end carries the two nuts 19 and 20.

It will be seen that by the proper adjustments of the nuts 17, 19 and 2O the jaws 11 may be made to engage the wall and cla-mp the support thereto and it is evident that it may be quickly secured on the wall or removed therefrom by tightening or loosening the nuts. By an appropriate and delicate adjustment of the nuts, the jaws 11 may be made to exert an even pressure on the wall and the device will thereby be held in its upright position. Y

In Fig. 6 the uprights 10 are provided with fieXible cushions 21 that are adapted to engage the wall without injuring the same and particularly the plastering of the inner wall beneath the window.y In this case, also, the pole 22 may be erected at the window sill and if desired may be long enough to extend above the roof.

One of the uprights 10 is perforated at each end to receive bolts 23 to secure the inner ends of clamps 24 that engage the lower end of the pole 22. These clamps comprise the two members 25 united by the bolts 23 and 26 and reinforced by ribs 27.

The upright may comprise rear flanges 28 and the jaws 11 will have the teeth 29 to effectually dig into the plaster of the wall.

It is obvious that the parts may be otherwise arranged or modified without departing .from the essential features above described or from the scope of the appended claim.

lVhat I claim as new is:

In a pole support, the combination of up'- rights, `frictional means at the lower end of said uprights, a bolt above the frictional means and having a nut, a second bolt at the upper ends of the uprights and swivelled to one of them, locking nuts at the end of said second bolt and adapted to secure it to the other upright, and clamps carried by one of the uprights and adapted to secure a pole.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.
